Recovery Zone Facility Bonds

Cook County Department of Planning and Development announces the availability of $196.8 million in bonds through the federal government’s American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, or ARRA, in the form of Recovery Zone Facility Bonds.

Recovery Zone Facility Bonds are traditional tax-exempt private activity bonds used by private businesses in designated recovery zones to finance a broad range of depreciable capital projects in areas of significant economic distress.

Cook County will accept applications from November 16 through January 18, 2010. That application deadline is extended through May 1, 2010 for companies applying specifically for funds within the 30% volume cap designated for communities of greater need, as a way to afford companies a greater window of time to assemble financing for projects in severely disenfranchised communities.
